What Is Real Anymore? marks a new chapter in Jay Kaes’s exploration of reality and the ways in which we perceive it.

The exhibition brings together three years of research and experimentation, connecting different strands of Kaes’s work and leading to his new three-dimensional anamorphic sculptures. In these works, viewers are no longer passive observers: they must move, search, compare and reconstruct the image to find their own meaning.

This physical transformation develops an idea that has been present in Kaes’s work for years: reality is not singular. Our experiences, surroundings and point of view shape what we see and understand as true. The coexistence of images, styles and seemingly contradictory elements within a single work reflects this possibility: different realities can exist simultaneously.

Perhaps it is our point of view that determines the reality we live in.

“ I love street art and it’s impact on bringing real life issues, art and unique colour design for all to see in the streets. Jay Kaes work attracts me as it reflects the multi dimensional world we live in and this piece with its unique style shows the impact that social media has on our daily lives - is not something I have seen other streets artists do well!

As an art collector I think of two aspects when I purchase any art work; does it impact me around design and colour ( that means I keep it to enjoy) and as an investor would it bring me a future return on invested capital.

I had the same feeling on Stik in 2011 and on Shepard Fairey in 2008. I have the same feeling on Jay Kaes in 2024!"
